- About Faculty-Led Study Abroad Programs/Study Tours
Faculty-led programs are a curated blend of intellectual and cultural experiences based on unique and relevant themes. We collaborate with the faculty to arrange engaging and pertinent visits, interactive workshops by subject matter experts, and immersive cultural experiences. The program’s goal is to help students achieve faculty-envisioned learning objectives while creating meaningful experiences for themselves.
Faculty-led programs include visits to organizations where students get real-world insights by learning about the organization’s vision, strategies, and operations. The students will also have the opportunity to attend interactive sessions where subject matter experts will dive deep into the topics that are aligned with the program’s theme. Our programs also enable students to immerse themselves culturally and spiritually. By living in a new cultural setting, students gain a better understanding of the local customs, traditions, and way of life. The faculty-led programs can either be available as custom or featured programs, depending upon the requirement of the institution.
